what am I doing?

What am I doing to keep myself from living in the hopelessness and helplessness of depression that Chronic Illness can bring, someone asked me. Well, let me tell you.

I have been walking lately.

• I have lost over ten lbs in the last 2 months. 

I have been crafting .

• a few examples, i have been decoupaging lately. printed out pics of my grand daughter and put them on canvas. they look great! Also, decoupaged a few ornaments for myself. I am looking forward to painting a glass jar to hold my make up brushes. 

I have been sewing.

• I got a beautiful sewing machine from my sister Debbie for Christmas! 

I have been watching Netflix and other movies online 

• I have watched a few really fun moves, some that make you think, and others that made me cry and wish I hadn't watched them. 

and last but not least

I have been watching my granddaughter! 

• We play and laugh and craft together, color together, read stories and tell stories and sing together! she is such a love! and whenever I am around her, she always brings my spirits up!

So what do you think? is this enough? should I be doing more? certainly. I have been looking for a job that i could do sitting down. but those are hard to come by, you know? and I could be more out and about... which I actually have been. Went out to eat with my friend in downtown and today went out with my sister and her bf. but yeah but myself, no i don't do that.
